Bethel given
social work
accreditation
Bethel College's bacca-laureate
social work pro-gram
has been granted ac
creditation by the Council
on Social Work Education
of New York City. "This
significant achievement is
the happy outcome of
years of effort by faculty,
students, and administra-tion,"
said . John Bower,
A.C.S.W., director of Beth-el's
social work program.
Andy Pratt, formerly on the professional rock circuit, will be playing for one of his first Christian
audiences tonight at Bethel.
Pratt/Heard concert starts weekend fun
Mark Heard, a contemporary Christian artist, will appear in
concert tonight, Feb. 12, at 8 p.m.
Strong community sup-port—
involving numerous
social service agencies,
their administrators and
professional staffs—was
also a factor leading to
accreditation, he stated,
for which Bethel is grate-ful.
Currently, more than
60 junior and senior level
students have community-based
field placements
which involve nearly 45
professionals as field fa-culty.
Accreditation by the
Council indicates that
graduates are prepared for
entry-level professional em-ployment
as social workers.
College graduates are qua-lified
for advanced stand-ing
at the graduate level
and areh eligible for posi-tions
and licensure which
specify candidates from ac-credited
programs. Accre-ditation
also entitles gra-duates
to membership in .
the National Association
of Social Workers.
Three full-time and
three part-time social
work faculty members,
plus the supporting staff,
comprise Bethel's on-cam-pus
program personnel. In
addition, more than a do-zen
other instructors teach
primary support courses
as part of the social work
program.

As each semester beg-ins,
many students want
to sell their used books.
This year there was no
book -buy-back board.
Transactions for buying
and selling books were not
allowed through the post-al
system.
Bruce Kunkel, director
of administrative services
in business affairs, in-structed
Elaine McCleary,
post office coordinator,
that the post office was
not to become invoved
with a book buy-back
board. "We don't have
enough people to handle
the work it involves," Kun-kel
said.
McCleary stated that
using the PO system for
selling books is a conven-ience
for the students but
involves workers going to
the window four times for
each book sold. Someone
has to receive the book
from the seller, give the
book to the buyer, receive
the money from the buyer
and then give the money
to the seller. Past prob-lems
have also included
money being stolen.
Brice Russell, Senate
treasurer, said the Senate
is not sponsoring the book
buy-back board because
of the overload it places on
the post office.

of the Senate,

With a book exchange sys
tem the students would
bring the books they were
selling to a specified place
with a triplicate form stat-ing
the book and price.
Senate would handle the
transactions involving de-livering
the money from
the buyer to the seller.
A record of the books
that students sell would
be kept by the form. Ac-cording
to Russell, such a
program takes time to ini-tiate.
"It makes more sense,"
said Thomas, "to help the
students get books at low
cost."

would need to be
done on how many books

that a deficit or decrease
in profit in the bookstore
budget caused by unsold
books could result in in-creased
tuition. This is be-cause
all profit of the book-store
goes into the general
fund at the end of the year.
Marvin Fuller, manager
of purchasing and book-stores,
said it is the policy
of the bookstore to buy a
book for each student reg-istered
for the class plus
two additional books. "Our
biggest concern is to have
a book for each student,"
he said.
When students buy
books from other students,
it means the bookstore is
left with extra copies.

but I'm not going to guess
how many to order and

additional books to be re-ceived.
He said he feels
that a student cannot
operate without a book for
that long in most classes
at Bethel.
The main problem when
the bookstore does not sell
the books is the cost to the
bookstore. A letter must
be written to the publisher
requesting return privi-leges.
For the publisher to ac-cept
a book return it can
have no marks from hand-ling,
price tags, or ship-ping.
Shipping the books
is costly and sometimes
publishers will not accept
books back once they have
sold them. This leaves the
bookstore with hundreds
of dollars' worth of books.
Students also have an op-portunity
to sell their used
books to the bookstore at
the end of each semester.

Dean's list • recognizes
hard work

oops... In the Feb. 5 issue,

The dean's list... an
honor, an incentive, a lot
of hard work.
By maintaining at least
three course units during
a semester, and by achiev-ing
at least a 3.5 grade
point average (GPA), a
student will be on the
dean's list, according to
Chester Duck, registrar.
A separate dean's list is
compiled each semester
and is run when the grades
are sent out. If a student
has an incomplete to make
up, he/she is not eligible.
Approximately 300-350
students qualify for the
dean's list each semester.
The dean's list holds no
official function. "Its pri-mary
purpose is to recog-nize
students for their hard
work and to encourage
other students to work just
as hard," said Duck.
According to Duck, be-ing
on the dean's list is a
bonus for employment pur-poses.
"A student's trans-cripts
don't say that he/she
was on the dean's list, but
his/her GPA does," said
Duck.

Liberal arts education
widens one's horizons
Several years ago a young person left home to go to a
liberal arts college. That person became a student of the
sciences and wanted to be a scientist. However, com-bined
with chemistry, math and biology the student
was exposed to the Bible, the visual and performing
arts and literature, all part of the liberal arts process.
Through exposure to the arts the student slowly
began to realize that the arts too are an attempt at truth.
The themes the student found in art were immediately
relevent to life, even if intangible. Truth or reality, the
student found, was not necessarily something that
could be expressed in an equation, demonstrated in a
chemical reaction or captured on film.
This is the function of a liberal arts education, to
expose the student to the vast variety of ideas and
disciplines there are in the world. Integration of that
material into the lives of students helps them to
become people more aware of the world around them.
The ideas and skills learned in college are real.
Research and interview techniques as well as writing
and skills specific to one's discipline transfer to non-academic
life. How well the skills learned on campus
transfer to what some call the 'real world' is, to some
extent dependent on the individual.
College is the real world but it is a highly compressed
aspect of it. That compression gives it an unreal or
contrived appearance but all organizations are con-trived.
The advantage is that in this aspect of reality
there is the relatively easy opportunity to be exposed to
a variety of ideas, take chances and make mistakes that
can only benefit the student as an educational process.
Part of the process of learning is fitting a lot of seem-ingly
different things together. Art and science are just
two examples.

Language course
by Anita Baerg
Many Bethel students
became involved with the
Hmong in the Twin Cities
area during January when
the interim course "Learn-ing
Language" opened new
opportunities for both the
students and the Hmong.
Don Larson, professor
of linguistics and anthro-pology,
originated the idea
for three reasons. The first
was that although there
are over 10,000 Hmong in
the Metro area, not many
people in the dominant cul-ture
know the Hmong lan-guage.
"It's a rare domin-gram
could be done by
themselves. They were en-couraged
to use their own
initiative and skills in work-ing
out pronunciation and
grammar exercises.
A typical day began
with a team of Hmong
, meeting with small groups
of students for language
learning. Another group of
Hmong meet with Larson
at that time. After all had
lunch together, the stu-dents
and the Hmong
switched roles. A group of
volunteers taught the
Hmong in the afternoon,
and some students con-tinued
with language
study.
Up to 50 Bethel students
volunteered to instruct the
Hmong on how to adjust
to the Twin Cities culture.
Topics included repairing

them to read the work-wanted

"I enjoyed this class be-cause
it opened my eyes
refugee situation and made
me aware of their exper-iences,"
said Charlene
Autey, a student in the
class. "I'm also excited
about Americans taking
the initiative to learn the
(Hmong) language."
Most people working
with the course thought it
was a positive step toward
helping and learning about
the Hmong. "I thought it
was an excellent exper-ience,"
said Autey. The
Hmong too benefited
from this and showed pos-itive
signs of enjoyment,
said Larson.
The original organiza-tion
and funding for the
class was done by the bus-iness
department under
the direction of Kevin
Walton. Funding came

to learn the language of a

A second reason for the
class was Larson's idea
that language programs
tend not to make use of the
language-speaking people
in the area. This was one
way of learning how the
language sounds from the
native tongue, and stu-dents
learned more than
in contemporary class-room
settings.

Extensive discussion
concerned the content of
Bethel's chapel services at
the Student Senate meet-ing
Tuesday, Feb. 9. Sena-tors
questioned whether
the Chapel and spiritual
life student-faculty com-mittee
should have a more
active part in a Christian
college setting.
Senators Beth Talbot
and Steve Van Sickle re-ported
changes proposed
in the Academic Policies
up the studio with the
flags of the United States
and Minnesota. The stu-dio
even called Mrs. An-derson
and advised her on
what clothing to wear.

dell R. Anderson was gov-ernor,
Bethel's Wendell R.
Anderson was a mission-ary
in the Philippines.
Before coming to Bethel
this fall Anderson was
the pastor of Lakeside
Baptist Church in Went-worth,
Wisconsin. Prior
to that he was a mission-ary
and teach for 14 years
at the Baptist Thelogical
College and Seminary in
Cebu in the Philippines.
Anderson said that
teaching in Cebu was
much different from teach-ing
at Bethel. The college
there is geared for stu-dents
going into the pas-t
ora te , missions and
church-related fields; it is
not a liberal arts college.
The students travel to
neighboring schools for
their liberal arts educa-tion
in conjunction with
the seminary.
Students at the semi-nary
there also have two
years less formal educa-tion.
However, they are
quite motivated because
of the high sacrifices they
pay to be there. Because
even Christian Philip-pinos
do not see church
related vocations as worth-while
jobs because they
are low paying, most stu-dents
break family rela-tions
in attending the
seminary.
Anderson enjoys teach-ing
at Bethel, yet is less
enthusiastic about the
evaluation and testing
that comes with the job.
He is concerned about
objectivity and fairness.
In returning to Bethel
Anderson said with a
chuckle, "the students are
getting younger." He is
pleased with the growth
of the faculty and admin-istration.
He is impressed
with "the spectacular tal-ent
of the students," he
said.
Anderson graduated
from Bethel in 1953. Later
he served as director of
Christian Activities (now
Campus Ministries) and
taught Greek and Intro-duction
to Bible Litera-ture
during 1962 -64. And-erson
earned his B.A. from
Fuller Theological Semi-nary
and a Th.M. from
Princeton Seminary.
Anderson lives in Ano-ka
with his wife, Nancy.
His daughter, Dawn, is a
senior in high school and
his son Scott is a sopho-more.
They all enjoy
camping, canoeing and
cross-country skiing. An-derson
also enjoys tennis
and swimming. Apart
from his family activities,
he sees studying as his
second vocation.
In fifteen years Ander-son
said that he would
still like to be teaching the
Bible in some context
whether it be in a local
church or in a college
setting.

Gallery transformed into a sound environment
by Leann M. Kicker
Beeps, buzzes, dim light,
tilting columns: the art gal-lery
has been transformed
into a new environment.
The room is filled with a
group of strategically
placed columns which
emanate sound. Two gal-lery
lights are the only
illumination. The sound is
a series of synthesized,
computer-prompted tones
and silence. It is called
"Sculpture/Sound" and re-quires
participation rather
than mere viewing.
The work was created
by Stewart luckman, pro-fessor
of art at Bethel, and
David Held, sound artist,
in collaboration with a
group of four students
from the interim course
"Pursuit of Excellence."
The students (Andre
LaBerge, Beth Langstaff,
Chris Anible and Steve
Mills) "were artists who
worked with artists to do
a major work," said Luck-man.
Luckman explained
that the students "got into
my head about my inten-tions
and made important
decisions about the piece."
Luckman made it quite
clear that the students did
not just install the piece;
they actually built and in-stalled
it. "The show,"
Luckman said, "grew out
of the CELL experience I
was responsible for. The
people worked with me as
apprentices." (CELL is
Bethel's Center for Excel-lence
in Living and Learn-ing.)
The idea for this piece
actually started while
Luckman was still work-ing
on Rokker V, a piece he
did for the University of
Minnesota. He met David
Held and they casually dis-cussed
doing a show to-gether.
In late September-early
October the two men
started seriously discuss-.
ing a cooperative venture.
"I wanted to work with
another artist—a sound
artist," said Luckman.
"Also," said Luckman, "Da-vid
(Held) said he wanted
to do a three-dimensional,
environmental thing."
According to Luckman
this type of thing was a
first for both of them. Al-though
the piece has been
in the planning for months,
"on napkins and scraps,"
according to Luckman,
actual building began in
January. The group had to
wait for the shipment of
tubes.
Luckman's germinal
idea had something to do
with using the gallery
space as part of a piece. He
also wanted to make the
gallery seem unstable. He
had to find a means to
convey that idea.
"Eventually I thought of
forms driving through the
floor: leaning, tilting, using
the floor as a plane," said
Luckman. "Then I had to
find a material (to do
that)."
The material Luckman
used is heavy duty card-board-
like tubes: The
tubes of various lengths
and widths were provided
to the college for the pro-ject
by the Brock-White
corporation. The firm dis-tributes
the tubes, which
are made primarily in Illi-nois
and Canada, accord-ing
to Luckman. The tubes
are worth from $14 to $40.
For Luckman the piece
is a success. "It works very
well," he said. "I hope peo-ple
will get into the work.
They have to use eyes,
ears, their skin, not just
climb on it.
Luckman also said he
liked the way people re-acted
to the show on open-ing
night. "They were
thrown off guard initially,
for just a minute. Then
they started from there. It
was great to see people
staying, coming and going.
finally we had a bunth of
young, live people at the
opening. It was like a cel-ebration."
Bonita Wahl also ex-pressed
satisfaction with
the response to the show.
"I don't think people have
lost the hope to be able to
create together with no
prior education...in any
field. This piece shOws
that potential."
Luckman said he
thought the reception was
an indication of things
happening in the college.
"Everyone is struggling to
wake up or go to sleep
here. The pressure is to
conform. To wake up is to

to be held in conjunc-tion

be considered in the AAES

are encouraged to par-ticipate

later date.
Based on a true story,
"Breaker Morant" is a dra-ma
of war, politics and
humanity. Set at the turn'
of the century during the
Boer War in South Africa,
three Austrialian soldiers
are tried for war crimes.
The trial is a travesty of
justice, but the defense ex-posed
the hypocrisy and
mockery behind the court-room
setting. Scenes of
the actual events are jux-taposed
with the trial pro-ceedings
in a marvelously
cohesive style.
"Breaker Morant" will
be shown Monday Feb. 15
at 7 p.m. in FA 313. The
film is the fifth in the Film
_Forum series. This show-ing
is sponsored jointly by
the Campus Coordinators
and the philosophy depart-ment.
Discussion time will
follow the film, which is
107 minutes long.

Just one more. "Next
time," maybe I'll be
luckier.
Tomorrow the flow-ers

Different dates require original thought
by Larry Smith
Tired of the traditional
Valentine's Day? Consid-ering
doing something
"different" with your date,
but not sure what would
be appropriate? Allow me
to make a few suggestions.
Go out on a date and
enjoy a quiet evening to-gether.
To enjoy the si-lence,
make it necessary
that all communication for
the evening be nonverbal,
such as gestures and facial
expressions. If you can
keep quiet the entire even-ing,
you either deserve an
award, or need counseling.
Perhaps you would like
to do something for your
neighbors. Give a card, or
do something special, but
don't let them know you
did it.
If you like golfing, get a
bunch of friends together,
paint a dozen practice golf
balls with red paint, and
initiate the First Annual
Open Heart Snow Golf
Tournament.
For those students of
creative performance, try
dressing up in red tights, a
feathered hat, and a red
sweater. Go to the nearest
shopping mall and hand
out candy hearts.
For those students
without transportation,
simply taking a walk a-round
Lake Valentine
might be appropriate.
If you can't decide who
to ask out as your valen-tine,
invite a group of
prospects over and play
"fox and geese" out in the
snow.
If all of these fail to be
appropriate because you
don't have a valentine,
start a Lonely Hearts Club.
There may even be enough
time after the first meet-ing
to go out with a new
friend.
You may be wondering
what I will be doing. I am
going to take advantage of
the Minnesota Zoo's "Two
for the Price of One" dis-count
on Valentine's Day.
It's a good opportunity to
be an "animal."
If Valentine's Day slips
you by, and you wake up
Monday morning still
wishing you had found a
special valentine, don't
despair. Go to the Campus
Coordinator's office and
say "I Sherwood like a
kiss." You won't be dis-appointed.
To those who had a spe-cial
valentine, but forgot
to buy flowers, as a last
resort go to the florist on
Monday and pick up some
half-priced roses.
The Valentine's Day "Two for the Price of One" discount at the Minnesota Zoo will allow couples
glimpses of the affections of the snow monkeys.

Students set up camp in LRC
by Ginger Hope
In an apparent attempt
not to be outdone by the
winter wilderness camp-ers,
a group of rugged in-doorsmen
embarked on a
daring overnight expedi-tion
into Bethel's own final
frontier: the LRC.
Having skillfully evad-ed
observation by main-tenance
crews and secur-ity
personnel, two scouts
signaled the "all clear" to
their seven cohorts. The
nine then set up camp in
the LRC's dark upper level.
This was no backyard
slumber party, but a full-scale
operation complete
with tents, snowshoes,
and cast-iron fry-pan over
a flameless campfire. Pot-ted
trees were temporarily
imported from the Bethel
halls to enhance the un-tamed
forest wilderness
effect.
What does one do to
pass the time at an LRC
camp-out? "Oh, we sang
songs, and explored the
surrounding area—you
know, the usual camping
stuff," said one camper.
"I wrote a paper," said
another. There's one in
every crowd.
At 6:15 a.m. the crew
moved camp to the main
level of the LRC. Their
presence seemed to attract
no special attention on the
part of early-morning li-brary-
goers, with the ex-ception
of one passerby,
who asked how soon they
were planning to leave.
Apparently satisfied with
the reply, he continued on
his way.
The campers' RA, asked
if he was forewarned of
the camp-out, replied,
"Camp-out?' What camp-out?"

RESIDENCE STAFF VIEWPOINT
What are AD's and RA's?
Larry Jacobs
RD Silvercrest
An AD is a maturing
Christian who is wil-ling
to reach out to oth-ers
with a heart of
compassion as well as
courage. He/she is not
expected to have it all
together but should be
an individual who is in
the process of growth
as a total person: phys-ically,
mentally and
spiritually. To put it
simply, an AD is a
friend.
Nona Ai
RA Arden Village West
An RA is a counselor
and a resource person
forming a vital link be-tween
administration
and students. Above all
an RA is a friend. An
RA is one who not only
has the opportunity to
share in the excitement
of academic, social and
spiritual growth among
his/her own guys/gals
but is also one who is
pushed to grow and ex-pand
in these areas
him/herself.
Rod Long
Director of Housing
RA's and AD's are ma-ture
third and fourth
year student leaders
who are also Housing
Staff Employees. As
trained paraprofession-als
RA's and AD's are
responsible, in conjunc-tion
with the Housing
Staff, for the growth of
whole persons in the
college residences by
facilitating the social,
spiritual, physical,
emotional and intellec-tual
development of
students.
Andrea Fair
RD Arden Village East
Being an RA is a paid
opportunity to serve
and it could also be
your first opportunity
to be a servant to oth-ers.
The RA position
will benefit you now
and provide good ex-perience
for all future
employment. An RA is
a resource person who
handles anything from
maintenance problems
to academic, counsel-ing
and orientation
questions or problems.
The opportunity to be
an RA is exciting, chal-lenging
and rewarding.
Steve Mills
AD Fountain Terrace
One of the most im-portant
elements of
being an AD is to be
consistent in who we
are, both as individu-als
and as Christians.
This consistency
breeds a sincere confi-dence
which can be-come
.a very powerful
characteristic in relat-ing
to others.
To be "successful" at
this position one must
constantly evaluate mo-tives
for doing (and not
doing) and reach a tho-rough
understanding of
the concept of servant-hood.
Applications are now available in the Student Affairs office. The deadline for application is Friday, Feb. 19.

Flat-rate tuition encourages full load for students events calendar
by Laurie Challman and
JoAnn Watkins
Tuition: 4.00 courses-
$1962.50, 3.00 courses-
1962.50, 2.00 courses-
$1050, 1.0 courses-$525.
These are the charges ac-cording
to class load at
Bethel under a flat-rate
tuition policy.
For students taking only
three courses, Bethel's
flat-rate tuition policy
"seems unfair on the sur-face
but it's really not,"
said Dan Nelson, director
of enrollment in Public
Affairs. The policy has
been in effect for the past
five years.
"Most private colleges
use the comprehensive or
flat-rate tuition policy be-cause
it is more approp-riate,"
said Nelson. "The
per-course tuition system
is mostly a creature of
public schools."
The flat fee is based on
the cost of 8.5 courses per
year, the number of cour-ses
needed each year to
graduate in four years.
"An unwritten policy of
Bethel is that it intends to
be a four-year college,"
said Nelson.
When Bethel experi-mented
with the per-course
system from 1972-
1977, "the students tended
to take five or more years
to finish. The problem with
the per-course system was
that it encouraged stu-dents
to stay longer. The
cost to the institution was
also higher," said Nelson.
"At the time it was
changed (to the flat rate
system,)" said Dr. Dwight
Jessup, director of aca-demic
affairs, "we felt it
would be cost-saving for
track, from page 8

Wendy Norberg took the
3,000 meter race and set
the Bethel indoor record at
10:49.5, and later won the
1,500 in 5:09.5. Highlight-ing
the meet was Laurie
Staurseth's first-place 55
meter hurdle race where
she, along with the win-ning
male hurdler, received
a trophy for her 9.2 effort,
which was also a school
record.
Staurseth also placed
fourth in the 400 meter
and Danette Burgess took
third in the 55 meter dash
and fourth in the 200 me-ters
for the Royals. Coach
Cindy Book was pleased
with the outcome of the
meet. She feels that "in
the student." He said that
it was advantageous to
most students as their tui-tion
under the per-course
system would have been
higher.
Nelson explained that
per-course tuition- is not a
fair way to charge tuition
because of the fixed costs
that the institition incurs
through maintenance of
the physical plant and ser-vices
provided for the
student. These fixed costs
are included in tuition.
According to Jessup,
students often have
seemed to believe that all
they are getting for their
money is the course. He
most cases we are where
we should be at this point
in the year, and some are
way ahead."

on a reduced tuition rate
for each course because
many of these services are
not available.
With the per-course tui-tion
system, a certain a-mount

old freshman record, as did
teammate Mike Ren-strom's

Eric Marquardt also set a
freshman record in the

Coaches Dave Anderson
and Steve Whittaker were
pleased with the team's
spirit and morale but dis-appointed
with the overall
team performance. An-derson
stated: "We realize
amount nine times.
"The full-time students
would be subsidizing the
part-time students," said
Dr. Tricia Brownlee, di-rector
of academic pro-grams.
If the student is taking
only three courses and
paying per course, he is
paying only three-fourth
of his share of fixed costs,
while the student taking a
full load is paying all of
his share of the fixed costs,
explained Nelson.
Nelson also said that
the current tuition struc-ture
favors heavy class
loads. "This is a disadvan-tage
for those students
who plan to be part-time."
said Nelson. "Those who
take three courses pay the
full rate for a four-course
semester. However, there
are only a small number
who are disadvantaged,"
he said.
Ninety-five percent of
the students were enrolled
full-time fall semester.
"Most students are capa-ble
of taking four classes,"
said Brownlee. Four cour-ses
is equivalent to full-time
on a quarter or se-mester
system at another
school.
Jessup pointed out the
advantage of the flat-rate
system for students need-ing
one-half course credit.
It can be added to the stu-dent's
course load without
extra charge.
"I think there are very
few students hurt by the
system," said Brownlee.
"You're not going to have
one (system) work for ev-eryone.
We feel it is the
fairest tuition policy for
the largest number of stu-dents."

A rollercoaster week of
play ended on the upswing
for the Bethel hockey team
as the Royals upset highly
rated St. Scholastica for
its 10th win of the season.
David Johnson, the.only
senior on the young Royal
squad, was the driving
force behind Bethel's two
wins in the three games
played. Johnson had six
goals and three assists in
the week, setting a new
Bethel scoring record of 35
points (20 goals, 15 as-sists)
with eight games
still left in the season.
The week began well as
the Royals easily handled
the University of Wiscon-sin-
Superior 8-4 as John-son
had a hat trick as well
as three assists in the Feb.
2 game. The Royals' for-tune
took a quick down-swing
two days later a-gainst
conference oppo-nent
Hamline as Bethel
lost 8- 3.
"It was just a bad game
all the way," said disap-pointed
Royals Coach
Craig Dahl. "We plain
weren't ready to play. No
excitement, no enthusiasm
- just a bad game."
Dahl confided that after
the Hamline game team
moral was low, but sev-eral
team meetings prior
to the St. Scholastica game
returned the Royals' enthu-siasm
to its previous state.
St. Scholastica was ra-ted
as the number one
small college team in the
country by one hockey
publication, but Bethel
apparently wasn't im-pressed
with the Saints'
advanced billing. Johnson
got Bethel off to a quick
start in the first period as
he punched home two
goals, the second coming
on the power play.

- In last week's MIAC
action the Macalester
Scots visited Bethel for a
return match. The two
teams met earlier in the
season, resulting in a 72-

Andre LaBerge. Unfortun-ately
for the Scots both

Trailing 2- 1 after the first
period, St. Scholastica held
the Royal offense scoreless
while chalking up two
scores of its own to take a
3-2 lead into the final per-iod.
Joe Skelly tied the
game for Bethel as he
scored his first collegiate
goal and Jeff Schaber put
in the game winner at
11:38. With 18 seconds left
in the contest Scott Mayer
scored on the open net to
ice the. game.
The way his Royal team
came back to play after
the Hamline loss had Dahl
as pleased as the triumph
over the highly touted
Saint squad.
"We figured it was time
to get back together as a
team and they did and it
works well when you do
play together," he said.
"We had unbelievable hus-tle
and support yesterday
(Feb. 6). It was strictly
attitude (the difference
from the Hamline game)."
The Royals with their 4-

During the first half,
victory appeared to be a
questionable outcome for
the Royals. Mac jumped to
a 23- 15 lead and stayed in
a tight zone defense. Beth-el
was doing very little
offensively to crack that
defense until Dick Good-win
came off the bench to
drill three long-range field
goals. Mike Hanley also
added three first-half

Although it lost both its
matches last week, the
Bethel wrestling team is
looking forward to the
MIAC conference meet
St. Olaf on Saturday, Feb.
13.
The team dropped a 42-
13 decision to Concordia
on Feb. 3. Coach Dave
Klostreich said that the
loss was made more pain-ful
by the loss of Doug
Johnson, who suffered a.
dislocated elbow during
his match. Johnson will
not be able to wrestle in
the conference meet.
The Royals traveled to
Chicago Feb. 6 to wrestle
in a triangular with Whea-ton
and Marquette, losing
to both 41 -8 and 30- 15
respectively. "We were
kind of crippled (with in-juries)
when we went
down there," said Klos-treich.
"We wrestled hard,
but the other two schools
were in a different class."
Wheaton is rated 12th in
the nation in NCAA Div.
III and Marquette is an
NCAA Division I school.
Two bright spots for
Bethel were Ben McEach-ern
and Russ Reynolds.
McEachern won both his
matches and Reynolds rec-orded
a 20- 5 superior de-cision
over his Wheaton
opponent.
Klostreich expects the
team to finish in the top
three or four at the confer-ence
meet, and is pretty
• sure that Russ Reynolds is
the favorite to win the con-ference
championship at
134 lbs. Ben McEachern,
Tim Kemp, and Rick

As each semester beg-ins,
many students want
to sell their used books.
This year there was no
book -buy-back board.
Transactions for buying
and selling books were not
allowed through the post-al
system.
Bruce Kunkel, director
of administrative services
in business affairs, in-structed
Elaine McCleary,
post office coordinator,
that the post office was
not to become invoved
with a book buy-back
board. "We don't have
enough people to handle
the work it involves," Kun-kel
said.
McCleary stated that
using the PO system for
selling books is a conven-ience
for the students but
involves workers going to
the window four times for
each book sold. Someone
has to receive the book
from the seller, give the
book to the buyer, receive
the money from the buyer
and then give the money
to the seller. Past prob-lems
have also included
money being stolen.
Brice Russell, Senate
treasurer, said the Senate
is not sponsoring the book
buy-back board because
of the overload it places on
the post office.

of the Senate,

A record of the books
that students sell would
be kept by the form. Ac-cording
to Russell, such a
program takes time to ini-tiate.
"It makes more sense,"
said Thomas, "to help the
students get books at low

all profit of the book-store

Marvin Fuller, manager
of purchasing and book-stores,
said it is the policy
of the bookstore to buy a
book for each student reg-istered
for the class plus
two additional books. "Our
biggest concern is to have
a book for each student,"
he said.
When students buy
books from other students,
it means the bookstore is

He said he feels
that a student cannot
operate without a book for
that long in most classes
at Bethel.
The main problem when
the bookstore does not sell
the books is the cost to the
bookstore. A letter must
be written to the publisher
requesting return privi-leges.
For the publisher to ac-cept
a book return it can
have no marks from hand-ling,
price tags, or ship-ping.
Shipping the books
is costly and sometimes
publishers will not accept
books back once they have
sold them. This leaves the
bookstore with hundreds
of dollars' worth of books.
Students also have an op-portunity
to sell their used
books to the bookstore at
the end of each semester.

The dean's list... an
honor, an incentive, a lot
of hard work.
By maintaining at least
three course units during
a semester, and by achiev-ing
at least a 3.5 grade
point average (GPA), a
student will be on the
dean's list, according to
Chester Duck, registrar.
A separate dean's list is
compiled each semester
and is run when the grades
are sent out. If a student
has an incomplete to make
up, he/she is not eligible.
Approximately 300-350
students qualify for the
dean's list each semester.
The dean's list holds no
official function. "Its pri-mary
purpose is to recog-nize
students for their hard
work and to encourage
other students to work just
as hard," said Duck.
According to Duck, be-ing
on the dean's list is a
bonus for employment pur-poses.
"A student's trans-cripts
don't say that he/she
was on the dean's list, but
his/her GPA does," said

Liberal arts education
widens one's horizons
Several years ago a young person left home to go to a
liberal arts college. That person became a student of the
sciences and wanted to be a scientist. However, com-bined
with chemistry, math and biology the student
was exposed to the Bible, the visual and performing
arts and literature, all part of the liberal arts process.
Through exposure to the arts the student slowly
began to realize that the arts too are an attempt at truth.
The themes the student found in art were immediately
relevent to life, even if intangible. Truth or reality, the
student found, was not necessarily something that
could be expressed in an equation, demonstrated in a
chemical reaction or captured on film.
This is the function of a liberal arts education, to
expose the student to the vast variety of ideas and
disciplines there are in the world. Integration of that
material into the lives of students helps them to
become people more aware of the world around them.
The ideas and skills learned in college are real.
Research and interview techniques as well as writing
and skills specific to one's discipline transfer to non-academic
life. How well the skills learned on campus
transfer to what some call the 'real world' is, to some
extent dependent on the individual.
College is the real world but it is a highly compressed
aspect of it. That compression gives it an unreal or
contrived appearance but all organizations are con-trived.
The advantage is that in this aspect of reality
there is the relatively easy opportunity to be exposed to
a variety of ideas, take chances and make mistakes that
can only benefit the student as an educational process.
Part of the process of learning is fitting a lot of seem-ingly
different things together. Art and science are just
two examples.

Language course
by Anita Baerg
Many Bethel students
became involved with the
Hmong in the Twin Cities
area during January when
the interim course "Learn-ing
Language" opened new
opportunities for both the
students and the Hmong.
Don Larson, professor
of linguistics and anthro-pology,
originated the idea
for three reasons. The first
was that although there
are over 10,000 Hmong in
the Metro area, not many
people in the dominant cul-ture
know the Hmong lan-guage.
"It's a rare domin-gram
could be done by
themselves. They were en-couraged
to use their own
initiative and skills in work-ing
out pronunciation and
grammar exercises.
A typical day began
with a team of Hmong
, meeting with small groups
of students for language
learning. Another group of
Hmong meet with Larson
at that time. After all had
lunch together, the stu-dents
and the Hmong
switched roles. A group of
volunteers taught the
Hmong in the afternoon,
and some students con-tinued
with language
study.
Up to 50 Bethel students
volunteered to instruct the
Hmong on how to adjust
to the Twin Cities culture.
Topics included repairing

it opened my eyes
refugee situation and made
me aware of their exper-iences,"
said Charlene
Autey, a student in the
class. "I'm also excited
about Americans taking
the initiative to learn the
(Hmong) language."
Most people working
with the course thought it
was a positive step toward
helping and learning about
the Hmong. "I thought it
was an excellent exper-ience,"
said Autey. The
Hmong too benefited
from this and showed pos-itive
signs of enjoyment,
said Larson.

A second reason for the
class was Larson's idea
that language programs
tend not to make use of the
language-speaking people
in the area. This was one
way of learning how the
language sounds from the
native tongue, and stu-dents
learned more than
in contemporary class-room

Bethel's chapel services at

Tuesday, Feb. 9. Sena-tors
questioned whether

active part in a Christian
college setting.
Senators Beth Talbot
and Steve Van Sickle re-ported

dell R. Anderson was gov-ernor,
Bethel's Wendell R.
Anderson was a mission-ary
in the Philippines.
Before coming to Bethel
this fall Anderson was
the pastor of Lakeside
Baptist Church in Went-worth,
Wisconsin. Prior
to that he was a mission-ary
and teach for 14 years
at the Baptist Thelogical
College and Seminary in
Cebu in the Philippines.
Anderson said that
teaching in Cebu was
much different from teach-ing
at Bethel. The college
there is geared for stu-dents
going into the pas-t
ora te , missions and
church-related fields; it is
not a liberal arts college.
The students travel to
neighboring schools for
their liberal arts educa-tion
in conjunction with
the seminary.
Students at the semi-nary
there also have two
years less formal educa-tion.
However, they are
quite motivated because
of the high sacrifices they
pay to be there. Because
even Christian Philip-pinos
do not see church
related vocations as worth-while
jobs because they
are low paying, most stu-dents
break family rela-tions
in attending the
seminary.
Anderson enjoys teach-ing
at Bethel, yet is less
enthusiastic about the
evaluation and testing
that comes with the job.
He is concerned about
objectivity and fairness.
In returning to Bethel
Anderson said with a
chuckle, "the students are
getting younger." He is
pleased with the growth
of the faculty and admin-istration.
He is impressed
with "the spectacular tal-ent
of the students," he
said.
Anderson graduated
from Bethel in 1953. Later
he served as director of
Christian Activities (now
Campus Ministries) and
taught Greek and Intro-duction
to Bible Litera-ture
during 1962 -64. And-erson
earned his B.A. from
Fuller Theological Semi-nary
and a Th.M. from
Princeton Seminary.
Anderson lives in Ano-ka
with his wife, Nancy.
His daughter, Dawn, is a
senior in high school and
his son Scott is a sopho-more.
They all enjoy
camping, canoeing and
cross-country skiing. An-derson
also enjoys tennis
and swimming. Apart
from his family activities,
he sees studying as his
second vocation.
In fifteen years Ander-son
said that he would
still like to be teaching the
Bible in some context
whether it be in a local
church or in a college
setting.

Gallery transformed into a sound environment
by Leann M. Kicker
Beeps, buzzes, dim light,
tilting columns: the art gal-lery
has been transformed
into a new environment.
The room is filled with a
group of strategically
placed columns which
emanate sound. Two gal-lery
lights are the only
illumination. The sound is
a series of synthesized,
computer-prompted tones
and silence. It is called
"Sculpture/Sound" and re-quires
participation rather
than mere viewing.
The work was created
by Stewart luckman, pro-fessor
of art at Bethel, and
David Held, sound artist,
in collaboration with a
group of four students
from the interim course
"Pursuit of Excellence."
The students (Andre
LaBerge, Beth Langstaff,
Chris Anible and Steve
Mills) "were artists who
worked with artists to do
a major work," said Luck-man.
Luckman explained
that the students "got into
my head about my inten-tions
and made important
decisions about the piece."
Luckman made it quite
clear that the students did
not just install the piece;
they actually built and in-stalled
it. "The show,"
Luckman said, "grew out
of the CELL experience I
was responsible for. The
people worked with me as
apprentices." (CELL is
Bethel's Center for Excel-lence
in Living and Learn-ing.)
The idea for this piece
actually started while
Luckman was still work-ing
on Rokker V, a piece he
did for the University of
Minnesota. He met David
Held and they casually dis-cussed
doing a show to-gether.
In late September-early
October the two men
started seriously discuss-.
ing a cooperative venture.
"I wanted to work with
another artist—a sound
artist," said Luckman.
"Also," said Luckman, "Da-vid
(Held) said he wanted
to do a three-dimensional,
environmental thing."
According to Luckman
this type of thing was a
first for both of them. Al-though
the piece has been
in the planning for months,
"on napkins and scraps,"
according to Luckman,
actual building began in
January. The group had to
wait for the shipment of
tubes.
Luckman's germinal
idea had something to do
with using the gallery
space as part of a piece. He
also wanted to make the
gallery seem unstable. He
had to find a means to
convey that idea.
"Eventually I thought of
forms driving through the
floor: leaning, tilting, using
the floor as a plane," said
Luckman. "Then I had to
find a material (to do
that)."
The material Luckman
used is heavy duty card-board-
like tubes: The
tubes of various lengths
and widths were provided
to the college for the pro-ject
by the Brock-White
corporation. The firm dis-tributes
the tubes, which
are made primarily in Illi-nois
and Canada, accord-ing
to Luckman. The tubes
are worth from $14 to $40.
For Luckman the piece
is a success. "It works very
well," he said. "I hope peo-ple
will get into the work.
They have to use eyes,
ears, their skin, not just
climb on it.
Luckman also said he
liked the way people re-acted
to the show on open-ing
night. "They were
thrown off guard initially,
for just a minute. Then
they started from there. It
was great to see people
staying, coming and going.
finally we had a bunth of
young, live people at the
opening. It was like a cel-ebration."
Bonita Wahl also ex-pressed
satisfaction with
the response to the show.
"I don't think people have
lost the hope to be able to
create together with no
prior education...in any
field. This piece shOws
that potential."
Luckman said he
thought the reception was
an indication of things
happening in the college.
"Everyone is struggling to
wake up or go to sleep
here. The pressure is to
conform. To wake up is to

Based on a true story,
"Breaker Morant" is a dra-ma
of war, politics and
humanity. Set at the turn'
of the century during the
Boer War in South Africa,
three Austrialian soldiers
are tried for war crimes.
The trial is a travesty of
justice, but the defense ex-posed
the hypocrisy and
mockery behind the court-room
setting. Scenes of
the actual events are jux-taposed
with the trial pro-ceedings
in a marvelously
cohesive style.
"Breaker Morant" will
be shown Monday Feb. 15
at 7 p.m. in FA 313. The

is sponsored jointly by

Valentine's Day.
3:30 p.m.
I sit alone in my liv-ing
room with not even
one valentine in hand.
My roommates arrive
with handfuls of val-entines,
chocolates and
flowers from various
sweethearts. I am left
with only a bowl full of
candy hearts with silly
antedotes on them. I
pout for a while; stare
at the candy hearts;
look at my empty
hands; look back to the
candy hearts.
I carefully pick a
pink one in hopes of
some cheering mes-sage.
"Kiss me" • i s
stamped boldly on the
front. Kiss who? I didn't
get a valentine, much
less someone to kiss .I
pick another. "Sure
love." I don't even have
a love—How can it be
sure? "Come twist with
me," but what about
lifestlye? "Say no," give
me a chance to say
"yes." Another. "Ask
me," please, please ask
me. Another. "Be mine,"
someone, anyone. One
more. "Big shot," I'd
even take a little one.
Just one more. "Next
time," maybe I'll be
luckier.
Tomorrow the flow-ers
will be wilted, the
chocolates eaten and
the valejaines only a
memory in a _drawer
somewhere. Me, I'll be
glad to see the candy
hearts put away for
another year.
Different dates require original thought
by Larry Smith
Tired of the traditional
Valentine's Day? Consid-ering
doing something
"different" with your date,
but not sure what would
be appropriate? Allow me
to make a few suggestions.
Go out on a date and
enjoy a quiet evening to-gether.
To enjoy the si-lence,
make it necessary
that all communication for
the evening be nonverbal,
such as gestures and facial
expressions. If you can
keep quiet the entire even-ing,
you either deserve an
award, or need counseling.
Perhaps you would like
to do something for your
neighbors. Give a card, or
do something special, but
don't let them know you
did it.
If you like golfing, get a
bunch of friends together,
paint a dozen practice golf
balls with red paint, and
initiate the First Annual
Open Heart Snow Golf
Tournament.
For those students of
creative performance, try
dressing up in red tights, a
feathered hat, and a red
sweater. Go to the nearest
shopping mall and hand
out candy hearts.
For those students
without transportation,
simply taking a walk a-round
Lake Valentine
might be appropriate.
If you can't decide who
to ask out as your valen-tine,
invite a group of
prospects over and play
"fox and geese" out in the
snow.
If all of these fail to be
appropriate because you
don't have a valentine,

Students set up camp in LRC
by Ginger Hope
In an apparent attempt
not to be outdone by the
winter wilderness camp-ers,
a group of rugged in-doorsmen
embarked on a
daring overnight expedi-tion
into Bethel's own final
frontier: the LRC.
Having skillfully evad-ed
observation by main-tenance
crews and secur-ity
personnel, two scouts
signaled the "all clear" to
their seven cohorts. The
nine then set up camp in
the LRC's dark upper level.
This was no backyard
slumber party, but a full-scale
operation complete
with tents, snowshoes,
and cast-iron fry-pan over
a flameless campfire. Pot-ted
trees were temporarily
imported from the Bethel
halls to enhance the un-tamed
forest wilderness
effect.
What does one do to
pass the time at an LRC
camp-out? "Oh, we sang
songs, and explored the
surrounding area—you
know, the usual camping
stuff," said one camper.
"I wrote a paper," said
another. There's one in
every crowd.
At 6:15 a.m. the crew
moved camp to the main
level of the LRC. Their
presence seemed to attract
no special attention on the
part of early-morning li-brary-
goers, with the ex-ception
of one passerby,
who asked how soon they
were planning to leave.
Apparently satisfied with
the reply, he continued on
his way.
The campers' RA, asked
if he was forewarned of
the camp-out, replied,
"Camp-out?' What camp-out?"

What are AD's and RA's?
Larry Jacobs
RD Silvercrest
An AD is a maturing
Christian who is wil-ling
to reach out to oth-ers
with a heart of
compassion as well as
courage. He/she is not
expected to have it all
together but should be
an individual who is in
the process of growth
as a total person: phys-ically,
mentally and
spiritually. To put it
simply, an AD is a
friend.
Nona Ai
RA Arden Village West
An RA is a counselor
and a resource person
forming a vital link be-tween
administration
and students. Above all
an RA is a friend. An
RA is one who not only
has the opportunity to
share in the excitement
of academic, social and
spiritual growth among
his/her own guys/gals
but is also one who is
pushed to grow and ex-pand
in these areas
him/herself.
Rod Long
Director of Housing
RA's and AD's are ma-ture
third and fourth
year student leaders
who are also Housing
Staff Employees. As
trained paraprofession-als
RA's and AD's are
responsible, in conjunc-tion
with the Housing
Staff, for the growth of
whole persons in the
college residences by
facilitating the social,
spiritual, physical,
emotional and intellec-tual
development of
students.
Andrea Fair
RD Arden Village East
Being an RA is a paid
opportunity to serve
and it could also be
your first opportunity
to be a servant to oth-ers.
The RA position
will benefit you now
and provide good ex-perience
for all future
employment. An RA is
a resource person who
handles anything from
maintenance problems
to academic, counsel-ing
and orientation
questions or problems.
The opportunity to be
an RA is exciting, chal-lenging
and rewarding.
Steve Mills
AD Fountain Terrace
One of the most im-portant
elements of
being an AD is to be
consistent in who we
are, both as individu-als
and as Christians.
This consistency
breeds a sincere confi-dence
which can be-come
.a very powerful
characteristic in relat-ing
to others.
To be "successful" at
this position one must
constantly evaluate mo-tives
for doing (and not
doing) and reach a tho-rough
understanding of
the concept of servant-hood.
Applications are now available in the Student Affairs office. The deadline for application is Friday, Feb. 19.

Flat-rate tuition encourages full load for students events calendar
by Laurie Challman and
JoAnn Watkins
Tuition: 4.00 courses-
$1962.50, 3.00 courses-
1962.50, 2.00 courses-
$1050, 1.0 courses-$525.
These are the charges ac-cording
to class load at
Bethel under a flat-rate
tuition policy.
For students taking only
three courses, Bethel's
flat-rate tuition policy
"seems unfair on the sur-face
but it's really not,"
said Dan Nelson, director
of enrollment in Public
Affairs. The policy has
been in effect for the past
five years.
"Most private colleges
use the comprehensive or
flat-rate tuition policy be-cause
it is more approp-riate,"
said Nelson. "The
per-course tuition system
is mostly a creature of
public schools."
The flat fee is based on
the cost of 8.5 courses per
year, the number of cour-ses
needed each year to
graduate in four years.
"An unwritten policy of
Bethel is that it intends to
be a four-year college,"
said Nelson.
When Bethel experi-mented
with the per-course
system from 1972-
1977, "the students tended
to take five or more years
to finish. The problem with
the per-course system was
that it encouraged stu-dents
to stay longer. The
cost to the institution was
also higher," said Nelson.
"At the time it was
changed (to the flat rate
system,)" said Dr. Dwight
Jessup, director of aca-demic
affairs, "we felt it
would be cost-saving for

Wendy Norberg took the
3,000 meter race and set
the Bethel indoor record at
10:49.5, and later won the
1,500 in 5:09.5. Highlight-ing
the meet was Laurie
Staurseth's first-place 55
meter hurdle race where
she, along with the win-ning
male hurdler, received
a trophy for her 9.2 effort,
which was also a school
record.
Staurseth also placed
fourth in the 400 meter
and Danette Burgess took
third in the 55 meter dash
and fourth in the 200 me-ters
for the Royals. Coach
Cindy Book was pleased
with the outcome of the
meet. She feels that "in
the student." He said that
it was advantageous to
most students as their tui-tion
under the per-course
system would have been
higher.
Nelson explained that
per-course tuition- is not a
fair way to charge tuition
because of the fixed costs
that the institition incurs
through maintenance of
the physical plant and ser-vices
provided for the
student. These fixed costs
are included in tuition.
According to Jessup,
students often have
seemed to believe that all
they are getting for their
money is the course. He
most cases we are where
we should be at this point
in the year, and some are
way ahead."

on a reduced tuition rate
for each course because
many of these services are
not available.
With the per-course tui-tion
system, a certain a-mount

Eric Marquardt also set a

Coaches Dave Anderson
and Steve Whittaker were
pleased with the team's
spirit and morale but dis-appointed
with the overall
team performance. An-derson
stated: "We realize
amount nine times.
"The full-time students
would be subsidizing the
part-time students," said
Dr. Tricia Brownlee, di-rector
of academic pro-grams.
If the student is taking
only three courses and
paying per course, he is
paying only three-fourth
of his share of fixed costs,
while the student taking a
full load is paying all of
his share of the fixed costs,
explained Nelson.
Nelson also said that
the current tuition struc-ture
favors heavy class
loads. "This is a disadvan-tage
for those students
who plan to be part-time."
said Nelson. "Those who
take three courses pay the
full rate for a four-course
semester. However, there
are only a small number
who are disadvantaged,"
he said.
Ninety-five percent of
the students were enrolled
full-time fall semester.
"Most students are capa-ble
of taking four classes,"
said Brownlee. Four cour-ses
is equivalent to full-time
on a quarter or se-mester
system at another
school.
Jessup pointed out the
advantage of the flat-rate
system for students need-ing
one-half course credit.
It can be added to the stu-dent's
course load without
extra charge.
"I think there are very
few students hurt by the
system," said Brownlee.
"You're not going to have
one (system) work for ev-eryone.
We feel it is the
fairest tuition policy for
the largest number of stu-dents."

A rollercoaster week of
play ended on the upswing
for the Bethel hockey team
as the Royals upset highly
rated St. Scholastica for
its 10th win of the season.
David Johnson, the.only
senior on the young Royal
squad, was the driving
force behind Bethel's two
wins in the three games
played. Johnson had six
goals and three assists in
the week, setting a new
Bethel scoring record of 35
points (20 goals, 15 as-sists)
with eight games
still left in the season.
The week began well as
the Royals easily handled
the University of Wiscon-sin-
Superior 8-4 as John-son
had a hat trick as well
as three assists in the Feb.
2 game. The Royals' for-tune
took a quick down-swing
two days later a-gainst
conference oppo-nent
Hamline as Bethel
lost 8- 3.
"It was just a bad game
all the way," said disap-pointed
Royals Coach
Craig Dahl. "We plain
weren't ready to play. No
excitement, no enthusiasm
- just a bad game."
Dahl confided that after
the Hamline game team
moral was low, but sev-eral
team meetings prior
to the St. Scholastica game
returned the Royals' enthu-siasm
to its previous state.
St. Scholastica was ra-ted
as the number one
small college team in the
country by one hockey
publication, but Bethel
apparently wasn't im-pressed
with the Saints'
advanced billing. Johnson
got Bethel off to a quick
start in the first period as
he punched home two
goals, the second coming
on the power play.

- In last week's MIAC
action the Macalester
Scots visited Bethel for a
return match. The two
teams met earlier in the

Andre LaBerge. Unfortun-ately
for the Scots both
were at full strength for

Trailing 2- 1 after the first
period, St. Scholastica held
the Royal offense scoreless
while chalking up two
scores of its own to take a
3-2 lead into the final per-iod.
Joe Skelly tied the
game for Bethel as he
scored his first collegiate
goal and Jeff Schaber put
in the game winner at
11:38. With 18 seconds left
in the contest Scott Mayer
scored on the open net to
ice the. game.
The way his Royal team
came back to play after
the Hamline loss had Dahl
as pleased as the triumph
over the highly touted
Saint squad.
"We figured it was time
to get back together as a
team and they did and it
works well when you do
play together," he said.
"We had unbelievable hus-tle
and support yesterday
(Feb. 6). It was strictly
attitude (the difference
from the Hamline game)."
The Royals with their 4-

During the first half,
victory appeared to be a
questionable outcome for
the Royals. Mac jumped to
a 23- 15 lead and stayed in
a tight zone defense. Beth-el
was doing very little
offensively to crack that
defense until Dick Good-win
came off the bench to
drill three long-range field
goals. Mike Hanley also
added three first-half
buckets to aid Bethel in

Although it lost both its
matches last week, the
Bethel wrestling team is
looking forward to the
MIAC conference meet
St. Olaf on Saturday, Feb.
13.
The team dropped a 42-
13 decision to Concordia
on Feb. 3. Coach Dave
Klostreich said that the
loss was made more pain-ful
by the loss of Doug
Johnson, who suffered a.
dislocated elbow during
his match. Johnson will
not be able to wrestle in
the conference meet.
The Royals traveled to
Chicago Feb. 6 to wrestle
in a triangular with Whea-ton
and Marquette, losing
to both 41 -8 and 30- 15
respectively. "We were
kind of crippled (with in-juries)
when we went
down there," said Klos-treich.
"We wrestled hard,
but the other two schools
were in a different class."
Wheaton is rated 12th in
the nation in NCAA Div.
III and Marquette is an
NCAA Division I school.
Two bright spots for
Bethel were Ben McEach-ern
and Russ Reynolds.
McEachern won both his
matches and Reynolds rec-orded
a 20- 5 superior de-cision
over his Wheaton
opponent.
Klostreich expects the
team to finish in the top
three or four at the confer-ence
meet, and is pretty
• sure that Russ Reynolds is
the favorite to win the con-ference
championship at
134 lbs. Ben McEachern,
Tim Kemp, and Rick
